Glycolipids
Glycolipids are naturally occurring molecules composed of a sugar and a lipid. In skincare, they’re used for their gentle, moisturizing, and skin-barrier-supporting properties.

Effects provided:
- Supports Skin Barrier Function: Glycolipids help reinforce the skin’s lipid matrix, improving resilience and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
- Deep Moisturization: They attract and retain moisture, leaving the skin soft and hydrated without feeling greasy.
- Gentle Surfactant Alternative: Often used in cleansers, glycolipids cleanse without stripping natural oils—ideal for sensitive skin.
- Improves Skin Texture and Smoothness: By enhancing hydration and reducing irritation, they contribute to smoother, calmer skin.
- Biocompatible and Non-Irritating: As biomimetic ingredients, glycolipids are well-tolerated even by sensitive or compromised skin.
- Sustainable and Eco-Friendly: Typically derived from renewable sources via fermentation, making them a popular choice for green beauty formulations.
